The nano apparently already had a snaily inhabitant

He looks different from the ones I had so far. This one is about 1,5 mm. Ramshorn?

 

Looking around for the macro snails, I noticed that there’s also a batch of eggs on the Vals:

And here I thought I’d be bored waiting for the fish. ;o)

 

The eggs seem to be hatching. There are teensy snails in the nano now:

About the size of a quarter pin head. I left the side of the tank in the picture when I cropped, so you get the thickness of the glass and the silicone strip for scale.

 

And? Is that a Physa?

Anyone want to hazard a guess? To me those triangular horns (see 2 pics below) look quite different from the one I first fished out and think is a physa. But I find it hard to get relevant info on the net. The pages that are there all seem to be disagreeing as far as taxonomy is concerned.

 

And another one:

Both have been kicked into the nano. I also found more leaves with eggs (they were on the Crypts), which I at this point just threw out. I’m sure there’ll be more.

 

Found another one in the big tank.
